Understanding the Blackboard course creation process
Credit and continuing education courses, including instructor and student enrollments, are initiated and managed from Banner, our registration system. This information is automatically synced with Blackboard, thus enabling you to view your courses based on your enrollments.
Credit course shells are accessible to faculty approximately 6 months prior to the class start date, allowing faculty time to design/create their courses. By default, students will be able to access their Blackboard courses on the first day of the term; however, faculty can change this setting.
Designing a Blackboard course is the responsibility of the instructor, but Academic Technology Services (ATS) is here to support you. To ask for support, send an email to the Service Desk, servicedesk@douglascollege.ca or by calling 604-527-5330.
